Publisher's summary

National Best Seller

Selected as one of NPR's Top 100 Science Fiction and Fantasy Books of All Time

The number one New York Times best-selling author's wildly successful first novel featuring his new Neverwhere tale, "How the Marquis Got His Coat Back".

Richard Mayhew is a young man with a good heart and an ordinary life, which is changed forever when he stops to help a girl he finds bleeding on a London sidewalk. His small act of kindness propels him into a world he never dreamed existed. There are people who fall through the cracks, and Richard has become one of them. And he must learn to survive in this city of shadows and darkness, monsters and saints, murderers and angels, if he is ever to return to the London that he knew.

"A fantastic story that is both the stuff of dreams and nightmares" (San Diego Union-Tribune), Neil Gaiman's first solo novel has become a touchstone of urban fantasy and a perennial favorite of readers and listeners everywhere.

Critic reviews

"Gaiman's gift for mixing the absurd with the frightful gives this novel the feeling of a bedtime story with adult sophistication. Readers will find themselves as unable to escape this tale as the characters themselves." ( Library Journal)
"Delightful…inventively horrific."( USA Today)
"[Gaiman] is, simply put, a treasure house of story, and we are lucky to have him in any media." (Stephen King)

A Gaiman Original

Many of Gaiman's stories contain interwoven elements and characters from various mythologies. Here, he is trying his hand at a snippet of his own invented mythology. Bravo! #BritishUrbanFantasy #SpookyRollerCoaster #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Neil Gaiman reading Neil Gaiman = perfection.

The story is sublime. The reading incredible. The premise fantastical. I have yet to be disappointed by a Neil Gaiman work of art.

Amazing Imagination

Lived in London a while back, and I can't stop imagining about the London under plots. Well done, looking forward to reading or hearing a few books by Neil Gaiman.

Osi.

Loved It!

Was a journey of self discovery for the main character with interesting travels through the "underground" of London. A very fun book to listen too with excellent narration. I can't believe it took me so many years for me to discover it. Excited that Neil Gaiman is going back to the underground for further adventures.

my favorite audiobook!

I have always been a fan of Neil Gaiman. Neverwhere was the 1st book I ever read from him. Neil is a master storyteller. This book took me to places I have never imagined. Thank you Neil.

Interesting...weird but satisfying

I I really enjoy all of Neil's work. He makes for very interesting dreams when falling asleep listening to the book. Give me a bowl full of tasty wheat and a book by Neil and I am ready to live out all my days in the matrix... forever Tito. Forever! Damnit Tito quit yelling at me!!

Excellent story and narrating

I thoroughly enjoyed this. I had previously read American Gods and, while I enjoyed it, didn't find it compelling. This book was the opposite for me. I really loved the story and enjoyed the author's narrating as well. The extra story at the end was an added bonus.
